On May 22, Slovenia's parliament approved Janez Jansa as prime minister-designate, marking a significant step toward forming a new government after a political deadlock followed the March elections. Jansa, who leads the right-leaning Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), received 51 votes in the 90-seat parliament, allowing him to pursue a coalition government with a five-party centre-right alliance. This coalition, which includes New Slovenia, Democrats, Slovenian Peoples Party, and Focus, controls 43 seats and has secured additional support from the right-wing Resnica party. The coalition's agenda focuses on implementing tax relief for both businesses and households, fostering support for startups, and establishing a fund to bolster the pension system. Jansa emphasized the need for reforms to cut bureaucratic red tape, combat corruption, and decentralize power to local governments. His vision for Slovenia is to create a highly developed, competitive, and socially cohesive state that prioritizes knowledge, innovation, and quality of life. The previous ruling party, the liberal Freedom Movement, led by former prime minister Robert Golob, has transitioned to opposition after failing to form a majority coalition.
